Dry Versus Ferment Hopping

[bignath]

Time and time again you put forward nothing but this is our space and I am the justifier of all that passes the board

Why don't you try and be adult in your approach

Do you really think that your knowledge of the art is so vast that you can slander with GAY! Abandon

If you are so passionate about brewing be a bit more ******* positive

Don't sit on your self appoint bench and pound your gavel

I would suggest all of you so called vigilantes' reread some of what I posted and I am sure that you will find that there was no dissention coming from this side until some Jesuit picked up the first stone and let fly

:lol: :lol: :lol: **** that's funny...

Just when i thought it couldn't get any better. Mate i am aware that english may or may not be your primary language, and i am aware that it is very hard to convey emotion and context on a forum, but for **** sake mate, you couldn't be much more wrong if you tried. And everyone is telling you this....Take a hint dude, and read between the lines here.

Absolutely nothing about your post makes any sense. It's not the "grammar" or the linguistic side of it. It's the accusations you are making.
My five year old boy started school this week, and even he makes a shitload more sense than you.

1. I am the one acting like an adult here. You are the one coming across like a little school boy who's not winning the game.

2. I admit in nearly every post i submit, (particularly the ones that my knowledge is a little sketchy or inexperienced on) that i am a long way from an expert, and that someone else may be able to help better. So, do i think i know everything about making beer? Absolutely not. And what is "slander with GAY! abandon" supposed to mean. You've lost me on that one but **** did i laugh at it....

3. I am very passionate about making beer and giving correct advice. If you had taken me up on the offer of looking at some of my posts in other threads, you will (hopefully) be able to tell by the "tone" of my advice that i love making beer, and i love helping (where i can) others do the same. It is clearly you that doesn't get this. Can you seriously not tell that no one really wants to help you?

I have no more inclination or need to justify myself any longer to you. I put posts up here because i know i have (some) knowledge, however limited, that may help other people in their quest to make the beer they want to drink. Like other people who post on this forum, and in the spirit of healthy exchanges of information, i often get told by other members that they like the advice i have given them. This would not be an unusual situation for a lot of other member who also try to be similarly helpful. I am certainly not special in my circumstance or my knowledge. But i do know i'm sittng on the right side of the fence mate. Not sure how many people are currently pleased at the advice you are so good at dishing out.

I am going to leave this post and future exchanges with you well alone, as this is not being helpful to anyone anymore.

I am willing to be the bigger man out of the two of us (and yes i know i'm not the only member you take offence with) which makes me the adult, and you the tiny little lonely person who no one here likes.

I hope one day you re-read some of your "greatest hits" and realise what a cock you have been, and that maybe your conscious has a quiet word to you about how you go about communicating with other people.

Until then, i'm done.

If all of you self assured brewers think that I would stop brewing after 36 plus years you are more dumb than your comments

I would bet without a ******* doubt that my gaggots stay connected as 90% of you loose impetuous in your hobby and move onto more wife pleasing aspects in your life

I dont even know why I waste my time talking too slate!(thick ****)

Call me troll give a damn

No one has come back with any rational haze comments other than moron **** wit

Someone put your hand up on cyber space and quote something of substance

Well, we've tried.

Yeah, they have. The potential haze introduced by dry hopping is widely documented in pretty much all of the accepted texts (and has been suggested in this thread). It is often debated how much of an issue it is and in what circumstances but I'm pretty sure you're the only person in the world to refuse that the issue exists at all and demands some other answer. It is probably equally documented and discussed that the effects of dry hops are diminished if they are present for the most active parts of primary fermentation - again, you're Pat Malone in your denial of this accepted truth.

So what you're telling us is that you have the ability to run a spell check, that also will pick up sentence structure and you chose to ignore it, as you do all the advice of the board?? Both the appearance and content of your poorly written compositions are a true testament to your oblivious belligerence.

Living your life in an existence where you listen to no-one, take no advice and attribute yourself with absolute omnipotence in brewing expertise, must certainly be a sad existence. You portray yourself as one who needs no advice, yet seeks it through these forums. In doing so, you've managed to ostracize yourself from all that have read your unintelligible rants.

If you aren't willing to give some consideration to the thoughts, opinions and advice of others i suggest you leave the board to those that are willing

Regardless, in my opinion, from the activity that you've displayed here, you are an absolute first class douche bag!!

(I rarely post... But this guys ***** me no end)

he can't help it, his gaggots are still connected :lol:

 

[MarkBastard]

Interestingly i dry hopped in the keg with flowers in swiss voile and no haze after a week. Light coloured pale ale. Does the pelleting process cause the haze?

 

[barls]

i dry hop in the keg with no haze using pellets. explain that speedie

I was genuinely interested in the original topic and am now was too amused with the outcomes to let it go so I apologise for opening it up again

Regarding you original post, am I right in the following summary speedie?

You split one batch after chilling into two vessels. One you ferment out then add hops and in the other you add hops during fermentation. (Defined by you as ferment hopping and dry hopping but both are conventionally called dry hopping, and are differentiated by describing when hops are added relative to terminal gravity of the beer).

You found that the batch that was dry hopped before terminal gravity was reached (ferment hopping) was clearer and had a more desirable flavour than the batch that was dry hopped after terminal gravity was reached.

Now. From what I have read/heard/experienced the haze you would get from dry hopping is comprised, in part, by particles of the actual lupulin glands floating about in the beer. Why would this haze be in one of your batches but not the other? I have read that yeast does a lot more than just ferment sugar and one of the things it is good at is adhere to these little lupulin particles so if you add hops before the yeast has flocculated out then it is no doubt going to be clearer.

As for the apparent differences in flavour, this is far more subjective and without knowing what you have tasted it's a bit of guesswork, but these same particles of lupulin have the sorts of flavours that are usually desirable to brewers who dry hop so I can only assume that if you felt the beer tasted better when hops were added early then either a) you are not fond of these dry-hopped flavours or B) the quantity added was too much and so the more subdued batch (your so-called ferment hopped batch) was less intense and seeming less coarse than the later-hopped batch.

Does this sound like a reasonable assessment of your experiment? (regardless if whether you agree with my conclusions?)

Cheers, Dan

Ps - please forgive any spelling/grammatical mistakes, I have a tendency to write this sort of stuff from my iPhone in bed in the morning and it often auto-corrects without context

I must admit I've been quite amused following this thread too, but here is a serious resposne.


Dry hopping can cause haze right... the haze is typically formed of carbon based oily molecules that don't dissolve that fantastically in water, thus they appear as haze.

Hop oils stick to yeast cells right, which is 'one' of the the reasons why fermentation can strip hop flavour. I reckon that the oil component of the ferment hops (the haze forming stuff) is simply being adsorbed onto the yeast cells, reducing the haze in the ferment hopped example and i presume giving a less resiny (cleaner?) taste


But yeah I've just read Dan's post and I've just basically reiterated what he had already said.
